Redhat needing to pay doesn't appear to be a GPL problem either; in the same way that having to pay tax on their annual revenue isn't a GPL issue. if Redhat want to be exempt from paying Microsoft for a patent license, all they need to do is stop charging for their distribution.
I don't think it is that simple. Commerical means many things - e.g. Telecom only charge you a monthly fee and you wouldn't call them non-commercial. Courts would look at the whole business. -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4/ Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz
